Blood Of Platinum
Chapter 348. Midford residence bag. 2
“Welcome, Rexa-sama. Glad you visited back”
A very nice welcome from Earl Midford. Behind him was a person with pointed ears who had only been first seen by the three.
A fake smile that looks good in everyone's eyes is shown by everyone, including Rexa herself.
The three teenagers stood up and Rexa represented her other two friends to answer to Earl.
“Thank you for the good welcome, Earl”
“Sit. Lucas-sama and Mark-sama as well, it's great that you guys came to this simple house”
Mark doesn't seem so comfortable with Earl Midford's line that seems too ‘low to raise this’, so his evil mouth works.
“Come, Earl. If you consider this house simple, what about the two-story house owned by the community outside? What do you want to call that? Cage?”
“Ma–forgive Mark-sama, I didn't mean–”
“If you want to go down, not here the place let alone you are the host. If you still want to be low to look high, you should do it in front of people who are lower than you. That too if you are ready to be called a cocky person”
“That's not the way to welcome guests and you should know that, Earl”
“Try to be ordinary. We are all nobles here, so behaving like that is very inappropriate”
Mark showed his sharp eyes. Those eyes were still blue, his natural color. However, the highlight of his dislike of the Earl was real.
Earl could only keep quiet as he said inwardly, ‘Fuck you! If he was not the owner of the Artifact, I would have ignored him even though his noble status was higher than mine. Snot kids don't know themselves’
Lucas tried to divert the conversation.
“Excuse us, we came without the affliction”
“It's okay. Sit down first, Lucas-sama” Earl allows his guests to sit back
Emily who heard Mark speak expressed her frustration and commented to him.
“Mark-sama..Emily likes your style! Mark-sama genius! Must be even more sarcastic so that the annoying old man knows who is the strongest”
Mark answered through his mind.
“He was just trying to cover up his falsehood. I'm sick of all that. Besides, Emily...in front of us, have you seen who it is?”
“In front of you?”
Emily who was in the meeting room while activating her magic seemed to try to see the figure that Mark meant.
“Mark-sama..”.
“What?”
“Emily can't see it”
“....” Mark fell silent and looked towards the man beside the Earl. He asked Earl and asked Emily to just listen.
“Earl, who is that person beside you? The guard said that you just got a guest. Is that him?”
The man introduced himself, “My name is Diaz-Gemini. Greetings, Marquis Vermillion”
“Diaz-Gemini yes..” Mark purposely repeated his sentence to make the Emily he was connected to hear that. Mark tries to make a conversation back with Diaz-Gemini.
“Are you guest of Earl?”
“True. There is a little business and we just arrived yesterday”
“Hmm. It seems that your relationship with the Earl was good enough to come to this room when the Earl had a private guest. You guys are amazing” Mark gives his cold sarcastic smile
Diaz-Gemini was not so affected by Mark's words, despite not knowing what was in his heart.
The Earl's attendant came in to bring snacks and tea for the guests and after they left the room, the Earl asked his guest.
“Is there anything urgent that Rexa-sama would like to talk about?”
“There is, but I want to say that everything I say is purely from me without anyone's coercion, including both my parents or the other party”
“Good. I understand if Rexa-sama says it. Please”
Rexa looked at the Earl seriously.
“What?!”
The statement so shocked the Earl to his feet. Diaz-Gemini who heard that looked at Lucas and Mark who looked calm while closing their eyes.
Both of them do not want to interfere in this. On the far side, Emily herself becomes serious about listening to what Rexa has to say.
‘Rexa-sama..Emily supports you. It was better to marry Emilia compared to that annoying girl. Emily will ask father and mother later’ Emily murmured in heart

On the other hand, Misha who was walking looking for someone was seen arriving in the lobby. The crowd looks a lot.
“Where's Rexa-sama? I'm not done with the talk yesterday”
Misha saw a familiar figure at that moment.
“It...” he went straight to her. Without further ado, Misha immediately pulled the hand of the figure, “Emilia, where are Lucas and Rexa-sama?”
Emilia who was with Tatiana looked at the girl.
“Good morning, Misha-sama. Why is it in such a hurry?”
“I asked where is Rexa-sama and your sister?! Yesterday you were with Rexa-sama, right?”
“Today they are out. There is a little important business he said. But we weren't told so I didn't know. Maybe they'll come back later”
Emilia's answer did not make Misha happy at all. He said something no to the girl.
“Don't try lying to me!” snapped
The loud noise was enough to grab the attention of several people who were there, including Kaito and the two brothers. Virgo and his two friends also looked towards the source of the scream.
“What sound is it?” ask Kino
“Votes of girls yelling at someone. Great also the guts can do that in the crowd of many people like this” Ryou said casually
Virgo and his two friends seem to recognize the voice, but they still do not want to leave Kaito and his two friends.
“Kaito, as here start crowded. Don't want to find a little quieter place?” ask Virgo
Kaito looked at his two friends and replied, “I'll just wait here. The administrative process will also begin soon. If we go too far, it will only make it difficult. Besides, I don't want to leave my two friends”
“Just a minute”
It seems that Virgo still insists on Kaito. He still had not given up on his initial goal of wanting to talk and get him to work together.
However, once again Kaito pretended to be innocent and rejected her kindly. As Virgo wants to reassure him, the two friends pull his hand and say goodbye to the three teenagers.
Virgos should be more patient from now on.
After Virgo and his two friends decide to leave the place, Kaito and the two sisters are back in serious mode.
“They tried to do something to you, Kaito-san. That is very clear from the way the girl named Virgo-san who wants to invite you to talk” said Kino slowly
“I know. Since yesterday he has done it too. I'm sure, this has something to do with the problem we discussed”
“Kaito, I suggest you be more careful. He might want to make you his friend. I'm not sure if it's true or not but seeing your potential, just that guess makes sense.” Ryou seems to be able to read Virgo's evil intentions
Now, the three of them had to think back and listen to the commotion that was going on in the outer lobby back then.

At the Earl's residence, a bit of tension occurred.
“Cancel engagement?! What does Rexa-sama mean?! Is...did I not hear wrong?”
“No, Earl. You heard it well. I want to cancel my engagement to Misha and I hope this decision is understandable”
“Dimaklumi? How is it understandable? What is the reason Rexa-sama decided unilaterally about this engagement?!”
“I've thought about this very carefully. I refused to marry someone who could not appreciate my precious family. And your daughter, do that behind my back”
Lucas and Mark smiled faintly which made Diaz-Gemini even more cynical.
